What base in RNA pair with adenine?

Uracil. In normal DNA it would be Thymine, but in RNA Uracil becomes the base pair for Adenine.


What base pair is not found in the DNA molecule and what base is it replaced with?

Uracil (U) is not found in DNA and is replaced by thymine (T) in DNA molecules. Uracil is found in RNA instead of thymine.


What base pairs with Adenine in RNA?

Uracil. In normal DNA it would be Thymine, but in RNA Uracil becomes the base pair for Adenine.


What nitrogen base pair with adenine?

In DNA: Thymine pairs with Adenine. In RNA: Uracil pairs with Adenine.


What are the nitrogen bases found in RNA and what do they bond to?

Adenine and Uracil, which pair together (Uracil takes the place of Thymine from DNA) Guanine and Cytosine, which also pair together


What nitrogen base can pair with adenine?

Thymine can pair with adenine in DNA, while uracil can pair with adenine in RNA.


What is the rule of pairs for DNA?

Chargaff's rule states: Adenine will always pair with Thymine in DNA; Guanine will always pair with Cytosine in DNA. Note: In RNA, no thymine is present, and its replaced by uracil; therefore, in RNA, Adenine pairs with Uracil.


What bases is found on RNA but not on DNA?

Like DNA, RNA contains the bases adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G); however, RNA does notcontain thymine, instead, RNA's fourth nucleotide is the base uracil (U). Unlike the double-stranded DNAmolecule, RNA is a single-stranded molecule.


What nucleotide replaces thymine?

Uracil replaces Thymine in DNA. Adenine and Thymine go together while Cytosine and Guanine go with each other in DNA. But, in RNA, Thymine is replaces with Uracil. So not Adenine and Uracil go together, while Cytosine and Guanine pair up.


What base pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA?

Thymine base pairs with adenine in DNA, forming a T-A base pair. Uracil base pairs with adenine in RNA, forming a U-A base pair.


What base in RNA pairs what adenine?

Uracil. In normal DNA it would be Thymine, but in RNA Uracil becomes the base pair for Adenine.


What is the base pair for uracil?

uracil is not found in DNA it is thymine in DNA, Uracil is only found in RNA In DNA guanine goes with cytosine Adenine goes with Thymine in RNA G goes with C but the only difference is that Adenine is paired with Uracil
